Fodor's Expert Review El Trillo

Tucked away in the warren of alleyways in a restored Albayzín villa, this lovely restaurant offers what may be the best food in the area. There's a formal dining room, an outside garden with pear and quince trees, and a roof terrace with Alhambra views. House specialties include arroz con jabalí y setas silvestres (rice with wild boar and mushrooms) and arroz negro con habas y chipirones con alioli de genjibre (black rice with broad beans, baby squid, and ginger aioli). Try the tasting menu that has a wine-pairing option. The owner welcomes diners personally and keeps a very close eye on the kitchen.
